Night Days.
Qixuan stared at the moon which looked very round outside Manor Xing's window. Thinking of many things, How did his family figure out he was just lost on modern earth? How did this miracle happen to him? Did this only happen in his mind? He turned out to be unconscious and crazy on the modern earth?
Thinking about it made his mind confused, even though he liked to fantasize but he still retraced and understood what was real.
Sighing not knowing what else to think, Qixuan decided to come out of Manor Xing alone and walked erratically in direction. There were several servants and bodyguards offering help but Qixuan refused. He only wanted to see/see Xiu's mansion that was so big.
Stopping at the back seemed to be quite a large kitchen and room for a bronze-ranked maid to do her job of washing clothes and drying clothes.
The Servants in charge saw the Grand Miss of the main residence in a place like this also bowed respectfully.
A middle-aged man, Section Chief, greeted and asked Qixuan.
"Sincerely Servant, to the Big Miss. What made Miss come to this lowly servant's place?" Ask the Head of Section
"Continue your work. I just walked erratically and ended up here. Is it the kitchen that cooks all the food in the house?" Said Qixuan approaching the kitchen-like room, The other servants heard Qixuan's orders and signaled Section Chief nodded in understanding to continue their work.
"Truely it was the large kitchen of the Xiu residence. Does Miss need anything." Said the Section Chief according to Qixuan from behind.
"It's late enough, but the kitchen is still crowded on duty." Said Qixuan, The section chief did not reply to her words and just lowered his head.
Qixuan wanted to eat a snack she liked like seblak or wet spring rolls. But he won't be able to make it here, with equipment like stoves made of firewood.
He decided to ask for materials that he could use to be a face mask.
"I want turmeric that has been finely ground and honey. Can you get it for me? and also cucumbers" said Qixuan waiting outside
"of course. Immediately I take it, Please Miss wait a moment." Said Section Head in a hurry/rush to carry out the task.
After getting what he wanted, Qixuan wanted to return to Manor Xing, with his hands holding the items he wanted. Whereas the Head of Section previously ordered a Bronze-ranked Servant to bring and deliver Qixuan, but Qixuan herself did not want anyone to accompany her.
Returning to Manor Xing and looking at Xiao Taoli with a panicked face was like looking for something.
"Taoota. What are you looking for?" Qixuan Tanya Relax and Sit in the front seat of Manor put the item she wanted earlier on top of it.
Hearing the familiar voice in his ear Xiao Taoli heaved a sigh of relief, she thought her Grand Miss was gone.
Xiao Taoli earlier had just been summoned by the Great General and the two young masters to the main hall, She left her Miss alone and was only accompanied by the servants and bodyguards available at Manor Xing-making her unsettled, as she had just returned and knocked on the door of the room Her Miss was not in, she said, just now he had wanted to search but the Big Miss had already returned first.
"XuanXuan, why go alone? next time wait for me to come back and accompany you wherever you go." Xiao Taoli said
"Taotao, you're my escort bodyguard. Not my nanny. Besides I just walk/walk for a while and accidentally get lost in the kitchen of the residence, then take some materials that I need." Said Qixuan pointing at the item she had placed on the table with her chin cue.
"I just want to make sure you're safe." Said Xiao Taoli who was now used to casually speaking to Qixuan.
"What is that stuff? you want to make medicine?" Xiao Taoli asked, looking at the materials on the table, because naturally Big Miss Xiu was an expert in medicine.
"I'm not Qiaofeng, I can no longer make medicine. I'll use it to take care of my beauty." Qixuan replied casually discussing Qiaofeng.
"How is it?" Xiao Taoli asked puzzled as this seemed to be the kitchen material.
"You want to try it?" Qixuan asked to take the material from the table and bring it into her room.
Xiao Taoli followed him but left the door open because it was late at night.
Qixuan sat down on the long chair and made the available materials into a face mask then applied them to her face, but before that he first washed his face with the water he asked the Silver-ranked Servant in Manor Xing.
Looking at all of Qixuan's activities, Xiao Taoli was quite curious.
After wearing his piece, Qixuan gave the order for Xiao Taoli to sit down in front of him and help apply the mask.
"XuanXuan, this is inappropriate. Let me try to wear it myself." Xiao Taoli said
Qixuan sighed already familiar enough with the many rules for women in this world. Letting Xiao Taoli do as she pleased, Qixuan left Xiao Taoli in the front room and went into her room because she remembered and wanted to see the items/items Qiaofeng left behind in the cloth bag.
Opening the contents there were quite a number of bottles of medicinal powder that Qixuan did not understand.
Looking at the ancient book of medicine that he first saw in the river at that time, picked it up and intended to read it to increase knowledge and eliminate boredom.
Carrying the book and returning to the front room, Xiao Taoli was almost done wearing a face mask.
Qixuan threw herself down another long chair near the open window of the room and read the book.
On the sidelines/-well read he remembers the residence is still quite crowded even though it was late like this.
"So when I walked/walked out of Manor and went to the kitchen of the residence, there was still quite crowded even though it was late. Is there no curfew? Why was yesterday not like today?" Qixuan Tanya Shifted her gaze to Xiao Taoli.
Xiao Taoli replied with some time lag like he was thinking.
"Xuanxuan, will know later." Xiao Taoli said as he was and did not have much reason.
"Taotao, what medicine is being sold in your gray? At least reasoned that makes sense." Qixuan said her thoughts. Because he does not why that someone hide something to him but give him a logical reason.
"XuanXuan, is it so hard for me to face you?" Xiao Taoli asked listlessly,
"What is this for?" Xiao Taoli asked trying to distract himself by pointing at the cut cucumber on the table.
"Don't switch the conversation. Was there a big event that made the servants and guards of the residence work late like this?" Qixuan said her thoughts.
Qixuan's question was on target. Xiao Taoli could not lie making him just nod lethargic.
"My guess is right?" Qixuan asked proudly as her guess was correct,
"What big way?" Qixuan
"XuanXuan, this is the first banquet for you that will be held in two days. The General and the Second Young Master decided to tell you on the day of the banquet because they did not want you to refuse this banquet. They understand your attitude of not wanting to socialize with the other nobles." Xiao Taoli
"Just a banquet why is it so difficult for you to keep me locked up in the Manor. I'll just be present trying to socialize, not so many nobles living in the border town, right? it'll make me easier." Qixuan said casually picking up the cut cucumber on the table and placing it in both of her closed eyes, decided to postpone reading Qiaofeng's medical book because of the difficulties - the days are already night and the lighting of the room only uses candles and torches hanging.
Seeing Big Miss Xiu's response that was far from expected made Xiao Taoli just flinch/head-screech, Her miss is already not what they thought all along anymore.
Xiao Taoli followed Qixuan's movements using cucumbers in both eyes.
Without them realizing their relationship now does not look like an Employer and Subordinate, because Qixuan is so relaxed to the person she will trust from now on in this world.
